Cellular phones are the most used electronic device everyday in modern life and are always in contact with our hands, Although many studies have revealed microorganisms living on our hands, there are only a few reports on the research about products or places which are in contact with our hands. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to verify microorganisms living in cellular phones. Microorganisms were scraped from cellular phones of students and professors from the clinical laboratory science department in Daegu Health College, and cultured at Brain Heart Infusion agar and MacConkey agar following API kit to identify them. The average colony number was $1.5{\times}10^2$ on BHI agar and $40{\times}10$ on MacConkey agar. There was no difference according to gender. In Gram stain result, Gram(+) Cocci showed the highest frequency. Also in BHI agar plates, Micrococcus spp and Acinetobacter baumannii identified with high frequency. Moreover, S. aureus, which is very well known as strong food poisoning bacteria, was isolated. Klebsiella pneumonia ssp pneumonia was isolated with the highest frequency from the MacConkey agar or S-S agar plate. From these results show, there are as many different microorganisms from cellular phones as from our hands. This is the first report isolating strong food poisoning bacteria in cellular phones. Since infection in hospitals have been an important issue to be aware of, it is equally necessary to investigate cell phones and products which hospital workers touch with their hands.

Shrimp in seasoned soy sauce (S-SS) is a popular seafood product in Korea, but it could be potentially hazardous; thus, this study was conducted to investigate its safety. Commercial S-SS were collected and analyzed for pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), hygenic indicator microorganisms (viable cell count, coliforms, and Escherichia coli), food poisoning bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Listeria monocytogenes), preservatives (dehydroacetic acid, sorbic acid, benzoic acid, and its salt, parahydroxybenzoate), tar colorants, and sensory properties. Domestic and foreign standards were also investigated for S-SS. Commercial S-SS ranged from to 6.2-7.3 for pH, 13.7-39.1 mg/100 g for VBN, and 4.6-6.9 log CFU/g for viable cells. The coliforms and E. coli of commercial S-SS were from ND to 3.4 log CFU/g and negative, respectively. Food poisoning bacteria, preservatives, and tar colorants were not detected in commercial S-SS. Only the coliform count and presence of E. coli in commercial S-SS exceeded the set standards of vietnam, while all items were within domestic and foreign standards.

한천은 국내의 풍부한 수산자원 중의 하나이나, 그 자체로만 이용할 뿐 가공을 통한 이용률은 떨어지고 있다. 따라서 한천의 이용 효율을 높이기 위하여 장내 균총 중의 유해균과 유익균에 대한 한천 올리고당의 증식저해 및 증진효과를 알아보았다. 장내 균총 중 유해균으로 Clostridium perfringens를 유익균으로 Bifidobacterium infantis를 대표군으로 하여 한천 올리고당의 효과를 살펴본 결과, 한천 올리고당을 0.2% 첨가한 경우 B. infantis은 증식이 현저하게 상승한 반면 Cl. perfringens는 효과가 없었다. 또한 pH 및 NaCl의 농도에 따라 한천 올리고당이 장내 균총에 미치는 영향에 차이가 있어, B. infantis은 pH 4.5 이상과 염 농도 1%이내에서 증진된 반면 Cl. perfringens은 염농도에서만 차이가 있었다. 이들을 혼합하여 배양한 결과 B. infantis의 증식이 증가함에 따라 Cl. perfringens의 증식은 현저히 억제되는 현상이 관찰되었다.

Eighteen kinds of medicinal edible herbs, which are nontoxic and has been widely used in traditional folk medicine, were extracted and antimicrobial activity of the extracts was investigated against various foodborne pathogens or food poisoning microorganisms. Among them, the ethanol extract of Quercus mongolica showed the strongest antimicrobial activities against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and followed by Quercus aliena and Quercus dentata, respectively. Thus, further study was conducted to determine the antimicrobial activity of Quercus species extracts. The plants were extracted with ethanol, methanol and water, respectively. The ethanol, methanol, and water extracts of Quercus mongolica leaf showed 10~21 mm inhibition zone against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria at two thousand $\mu\textrm{g}$ per disc, but little antimicrobial activity was observed against fungi and yeast. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the ethanol extract of Quercus mongolica leaf was 250$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL against Bacillus cereus. Salmonella typhimurium, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 62.5~125 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL against Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes, respectively.

We investigated the food storage stability of propolis extracts using homemade meatballs. Propolis extracts were prepared by using the ethanol extraction method. After making the meatballs, propolis was mixed into the meatball materials and egg water with a final concentration of 1% v/v. Microbial cultivation results showed that the cultivation of Staphylococcus aureus, which is one of the food poisoning bacteria, was reduced by more than 90% and the period of storage was 1.5 times longer. Also, it was observed to be effective when propolis was added to meatballs, it was even more effective when propolis was mixed with egg water. Thus, propolis extracts may be a useful ingredient for food storage stability due to its anti-microbacterial function.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to apply the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system to the production of seasoned laver products. The hazard analysis examined microbial evaluations and developed a HACCP management plan through the heating process. Methods: In this study we chose three companies and performed the analysis thrice. During this study, general bacteria along with other food poisoning bacteria such as Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, E.coil, O157:H7, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, were studied at varying temperatures from 100 to $300^{\circ}C$. Results: The presence of general bacteria was detected in raw laver in the samples analyzed from all the three companies, and the number ranged from $10^5-10^7$. Bacillus cereus was detected in samples from only two of the three companies analyzed. However, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, E.coil, O157:H7, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus were all negative. General bacteria was reduced to $10^5$ after being subjected to temperatures of $100-250^{\circ}C$, but heating to over $270^{\circ}C$ reduced the number to below $10^3$, and the other microbes such as Bacillus cereus were not detected. Conclusions: In conclusion, the heating process ($270-280^{\circ}C$) along with RPM of 100-1200 were identified as CCP to reduce biological hazards.

Salmonella is one of the most common bacteria that causes heavy losses in swine industry and major causative pathogen of food poisoning in public health. Various methods for the identification of Salmonella such as Gram staining, agglutination test, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have been used. Several studies have demonstrated that Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight (MALDI TOF) Mass Spectrometry (MS) identification is an efficient and inexpensive method for the rapid and routine identification of isolated bacteria. In this study, MALDI TOF MS could provide rapid, accurate identification of Salmonella spp. from swine compared with end point PCR and real time PCR.

본 연구에서 추출 용매의 선택은 작두콩과 대두, 서리태의 추출 수율과 실험의 용이성 등을 고려하여 메탄올을 사용하여 실험을 진행하였다. 작두콩의 항균활성을 알아보기 위해 용매별, 콩 종류별 항균활성과 최소저해농도에 따른 항균활성 및 작두콩 추출물의 항균활성 효과가 가장 높은 V. parahemolyticus에 대한 증식억제효과를 실험한 결과는 다음과 같다. 용매별 항균활성에서 클로르포름, 핵산, 에틸 아세테이트 및 물 추출물은 항균활성을 확인할 수가 없었으나, 에탄올 추출물에서는 V. parahemolyticus 10 mm, S. sonnei 9 mm, 메탄올 추출물에서는 V. parahemolyticus 22 mm, S. sonnei 21 mm, L. monocytogenes 20 mm 순으로 항균활성을 확인하였다. 콩 종류별 항균활성을 알아보기 위해 V. parahemolyticus, S. aureus, S. sonnei, S. Enteritidis 등의 식중독 원인균에 시험결과, 서리태와 대두에서는 항균활성이 없는 반면, 작두콩에서는 항균효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 작두콩의 메탄올 추출물에 의한 최소저해농도는 12종의 식중독 원인균에 대해 200 mg/mL에서는 대부분 항균활성이 나타났고, 50 mg/mL에서는 V. parahemolyticus, S. sonnei, S. Typhimurium만 항균활성이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 작두콩 메탄올 추출물의 V. parahemolyticus균에 대한 증식억제 효과는 작두콩 메탄올 추출물 0%의 경우 30시간 배양기간 동안 약 7.5 log CFU/mL로 증가하였다. 0.5%인 경우, 접종 후 1-2시간에는 2 log CFU/mL 정도 증가하다가 6시간 이후에는 더 이상 세균수가 감소하지 않고 30시간까지 접종하는 시점보다 약 0.5 log CFU/mL를 유지하였다. 1%인 경우, 접종 후 1-2시간까지는 0.5-1.0 log CFU/mL 정도 증가하다가 접종 5-6시간 이후부터 지속으로 감소하기 시작해서 배양 후 30시간에는 접종하는 시점보다 약 5.5 log CFU/mL로 감소하였다. 1.5%인 경우, 접종 후부터 지속적으로 감소하기 시작해서 30시간에는 V. parahemolyticus균의 생육이 완전히 억제되었다. 2.0%인 경우에는 접종 후부터 급속히 감소하여 약 9시간이 경과했을 때는 V. parahemolyticus균의 생육이 완전히 억제되었다. 따라서 작두콩에서 추출된 항균활성물질이 V. parahemolyticus, S. sonnei, S. Typhimurium 등 다양한 식중독균의 생육억제에 효과가 있는 것으로 사료된다.
